Question

-5x + 32 = 47 What is the answer to the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{x=-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf -5x + 32 = 47$

Subtract 32 from both sides.

$\sf -5x + 32-32 = 47-32$

$\sf -5x=15$

Divide both sides by -5.

$\sf \displaystyle \frac{-5x}{-5} =\frac{15}{-5}$

$\sf x=-3$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 32 = 47

-5x + 32 - 32 = 47 - 32

-5x = 15

-5x / -5 = 15 / -5

x = -3
